The beginning of the end!

Hi all!

My name is Monika :D and I am super excited to be sharing my take on the year with you! A little bit about me: I am a biology major with minors in chemistry and math. This is my senior year and let me tell you, it is surreal. I have been having such a mix of emotions: nervous, excited, a bit sad to be leaving the comfort of my four years at Dominican, and anticipating the future. Speaking of the future, I am actually in the process of applying to medical schools for these past couple of months. So, I'm pretty much in the same boat you all are in right now! Starting the journey of discovering whether or not a school is right for you and all that fun stuff!

But back to DU, campus has been very lively these past five weeks. We admit our largest freshman class to date (over 300 students) and it is so nice to see people walking around campus, hanging out on the library lawn, and going to the sporting events. This year I have decided to support our teams as much as possible. So far, I've been to a few men's soccer games and women's volleyball games. Both our teams are really good! The guys won 1 of the 2 games I saw and the volleyball girls dominated both of the games I saw! Go penguins! :D

Dorm life is going pretty well too. I am an Resident Advisor (RA) in Edgehill (the upper classmen dorms) this year. We house over 600 students ranging from freshmen thru seniors. RAs are basically resources for the students whether it be to help students adjust to life away from home, lend a ear, and host socials as a break from homework :D

Well that's all for now. Until the next time, have a great week! :D
